Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[JetBrooks]

Sometimes you just get luckier with crits than others.

i95 weapon, rest in i90 gear, you could break 1650 full thrust with x pot yes.
with Lib, you can break 1725 in i90 gear. i100 gear you can break 1825+ ( highest I have hit )

[Sygmaelle]

It really depend of your amount of Determination here, I cant have more than 355 with food atm while usin Wave harpoon, with the liberator it went down so cant reach these high numbers for now, way too low det.

[Taleon]

With Lib at i100 gear level that I currently at breaking 1800 on full thrust ( with X potion ) I am at 333 Det w/ HQ Buttons.
Yes, prior to using Lib and a lot of the other gear I am using now, I was a ton higher in Det.

Between the weathered liberator and the TIDAL wave harpoon, the harpoon will be your best bet. But once you upgrade to the i110 liberator that will be your bis until your t9 weapon. The WD grossly outweighs any loss in det. I currently have the upgraded liberator, 495 acc and am sitting at 366 det, so I don't know what y'all are complaining about.

*i also have a bunch of crafted and melded gear

Dont have melded gear, dont have ilvl 110 weapon too. Was just sayin that its weird Im dpsin actually a bit less with the normal liberator

for the 2nd dread in T8, (one with brain Jak) I put 3 ppl in Dread Tower, and the dread will spawn when Brainjack got like 4 sec left, which is perfect for my group. then you can burn the dread w/o worry about BrainJack

Yeah, that's what we're going to try. We just ran out of time last night

PArcher~
Not sure about your team, but we have it timed ( think one person for dread tower ) so that it is coming up right before Brain Jack hits. There is about two secs after the tank gets the Dread on top of Avatar before Brain Jack hits, and they are both just melted down in the center.
Dread dies about two secs before homing missiles go out, so for us at least, it is timed well.

Are the numbers for the summoner they giving you with pet ? or with out ?
I have seen some great numbers for both Summoner and Black Mage for this fight, mostly depends on how the group handles mechanics.
Your numbers do not seem far off, for your gear, same with the Monk if he is equally geared, both will probably come up with time and experience on the fight.
When the bard is cycling Foes does make a huge impact on the summoner btw. Our's, will pulse it even at times, just to help the summoner

The numbers are with the pet included (garuda used by both). Maybe it's just the use of foe req while dreadnaughts are up and as Whiskeybravo said, the potency of all the dots being spread. Like I said, I'm not familiar with the summoner. I just thought it odd how the two are lesser geared but doing more dps.
